Pennsylvania, United States - May 10th, 2006: Inmates from the Pennsylvania’s state prison are no longer allowed to receive pornographic magazines from visitors. Receiving such kind of erotic material was common practice among inmates who use it with means of releasing sexual tension through masturbation. At the end of year, it will be also prohibited to possess any pornography in cells.

This controversial policy aims to improve work conditions for female employees, who make up about 23% of the work force of 15.000 people. In addition, the solution will also keep porn away from the hands of convicted sexual offenders.

However, inmates are not happy with the decision, and very worried about the consequences. They say that masturbation is their only way to release sexual frustration, and pornography essential to fantasize. They believe that it will only increase the rate of sexual assaults in the prison. In federal prisons, porn publications are forbidden since 1996, and only National Geographic nudity or Victoria’s Secret catalogues are allowed.
